I eventually almost forgot about the topic and was just amazed by the effort that went into making this this readable.
Someone told me about a paper long ago. It compared 2 groups of heavy drinkers, one drinking mostly fancy wines with elaborate expensive meals and the other drinking mostly beer while eating out of a deep fryer.
The banquet winos consumed more alcohol per day but had much better health. They also tested both diets on rats with the same result.
I suppose the moral of the study was that nutrition has such a large effect on health that alcohol hardly makes a difference, even in large amounts.
- adrianN 3y agoUnless they compared both groups to a good control I don’t think you can conclude that.
- ponderings 3y agoIt's more practical than a 100 m feel good study to justify drinking. People are going to drink regardless. If you do, eat well.
